Which stitch technique is used in Jacquard Jersey #77 to create its design?

• A. Miss/Float stitches
• B. Single filling knit w/ miss/float stitches
• C. Tuck stitches
• D. Napping

Answer: (B)

In jacquard jersey designs, the motif is created by how the fabric is knit and how other colors are carried across the back. For Jacquard Jersey #77, the design is produced by a single filling knit together with miss/float stitches. This means the fabric is built with a basic knit structure (a single layer) while certain areas allow the alternative color to float across the back by having stitches miss in the ground color. The result on the front is a clear pattern formed by the knitted stitches, with the secondary color visible through the controlled misses and carried as floats behind. If you relied only on miss/float stitches, you’d mainly be carrying the other color across the back without the underlying single-layer knit that defines the motif's shapes on the front. Tuck stitches would create more texture and a different dimensional look, not the smooth, flat design typical of this jacquard jersey. Napping would alter the fabric's surface finish rather than the stitch structure that creates the design.
